There was also a great falling off
in the Democratic vote; but every
thing points to the fact that there
was not a gain to the Republicans.
The Camden men have been in
cessantly prescribing majority al
H6itun as the sole medicine to pre-
vent our State from having cOnsti-
patton of Democracy and a diar-
rhoea of Republicanism, in which we
all would be engulfed. Wehave given
them a terrific dose of majority in
this county, and they are writhing
with paroxysms under doses of their
own sweet cure-all prescription.
How long, oh. Camdenl wilt thou
content myself with feasting on the
wind of promises that cannot be
kept? Perhaps It's true that the
mighty, silent eloquence ofan empty
purse brings 4 relapse OF sOphistry
and false logic of events!
Is there rhyme or reason In
crediting with good, sound princi
pies a body of self-styied true Dem
ocrats and organizers" who will ally
themselves one day with Camden
las Democrats) and the next day
with Republicans, the sworn, be
smirtched foes to all that is demo-
cratic in word, act and deed?
To be organizers" for Camden,
and .disorganizers" against the
Democratic party, is bad and indit-
ferent and both shifty and silly.
And still they pretend to the pos
session of cause, an ideal, a vital
noble neutrality-suspicious.
reign or ruin of our party.
These Camden Henchmen, these
organizers for Camden, and diSor-
gaRizers against the Democratic
party in this county, have establish
ed dangerous and vicious prece-
dent which may not be cut out Of
the body polite, be their knowledge
of physics and philosophy never so
great. The doctor and the philoso-
pher will both ever fail in trying to
teach the best element in Jefferson
county how to hunt with the Repub-
leans and hide with the Democrats
Democracy is never going to forsake
the people and labor. The party is
triumphant though one man, Mr..

Democratic nominees and Butts and
Higginbotham the Republican.
Democrats both elected. Rider was
a fayOrite, and is a favorite all over
the county, and very popular. And
vet he got only little upwards of 100
votes more than Beckwith-a good,
solid endorsement of Beckwith's
views in this contest. There was no
Senatorial deadlock" no "Kickers"
in the Legislature in 1882, then why
did Rider get a vote so little larger
than that given for Beckwith? and
why did Fouke fall short 264 votes?
All. those facts were deemed too
trivial by the alert, eccentric CORES
pondeut of the Wheeling Register!
The real Democrats heTe-the so
called ~kickers"-have every cause
for congratulation; the party was
never better organized, and there is
for the Republicans only that hope
which maketh the heart sick.

Ask for Stonebraker's Hog Powders.
We would much rather you would be
agreeably surprised at the good results
from the use Of Stonebraker's Prepara-
tons than paint pretty pictures to your
mind and you not get the worth Of your
money when the test comes. Should
YOU doubt any statement we make,
please take the trouble to ask some Of
your neighbors about Stonebraker's
Preparations. Most every family In the
United States knows something OF the
wonderful merits and curative powers
of Stonebraker's celebrated family med
icines and standard preparations, sold
in every store in the land.
Now, as we have said in setting out on
this little article, don't be duped into
buying an article good for everything.
Don't pin your faith to cure-all-some-
times we are asked the question:: Are
Stonebraker's Horse and Cattle Powders
good for Chickens? We reply no; but,
says the customers, we can get Horse
and Cattle Powders which read: "Go0d
for Chickens, too" That's very true;
you can get a so-called Rheumatic cure
that is advertised to make hens lay, but
that is just why you should not throw
your money away for such stuff. You
have common sense to see through the
deception, and should keep your money
in your pocket. BETTER give it to the
poor than invest it in such commodities.
Stonebraker's Horse and Cattle Powders
are for Horses and Cattle. GIVE your
Horse well ventilated stable, good dry
bed, kind treatment, and moderate feed,
with Stonebraker's Horse and Cattle
Powders in it, and you will always have
good Horses. For Cows it increases the
flow of milk, imparts to the butter nice
golden yellow and hardens the fat Of the
stock. 1t will cure Pleuro-Pneumonia.
It cured VIM. Preston's Of Sykesville,
after he had lost q number with the ter
rible disease. He writes: am sure /
would have lost all my fine dairy stock
had not used Stonebraker's Horse and
Cattle Powders. Ask any Of your neigh
bors about Stonebraker's Horse and Cat
tie Powders, or write us for testimonials
from farmers, dairymen and breeders of
fine stock throughout the United States,
for Coughs, Colds, Distemper, Lung Fee
yer, Hide-Bound, Heavies, Chambers
Worms, Epizootlc, Black Tongue, Pink
eye, Bolts, etc. You will find Stone
brakcr's Horse and Cattle Powders q
never-failing remedy. Remember, the
feed is to be reduced one-fourth, and use
the Powders according to directions. OF
course there are some people who do not
give their stock one-fourth as much
food as they should have at any time.
To such we say: Your day Of reckoning
will come; you must give an account OF
your stewardship to your poor, dumb,
faithful beast as well as to your fellow
man.

Mr. Alf. w. Burnett, the Charles

the Snepherdstown Register and Mr..
Jno. o. Aglionby, of this county, for
libel. The cause of grievance is a

appeared in the Register of March
A, 1887. Capt. George Baylor is
counsel for plaintiff in the case.
When a newspaper ISLANDERS cit

Drummers Tax.

The Supreme Court having held
this tax was unconstitutional, a pO-

State. 1t is understood that an ap-
peal will be taken to the Court of

Ex-Attorney General Watts, now
United States District Attorney,was
in town q few days ago, when the
County Court held a special session,
and obtained an order on the sheriff
for 81, 200, a fee for representing this
county in the litigation about the
taxes which the B. & o. have re-
fused to pay since 1880. If the peo-
pie of this State would send to
Washington some gentlemen who
are not afraid of the hostility of the
railroad managers a law would be
passed by Congress to prohibit Fed
eral judges from enjoining the col
lection of taxes due by railroad
companies. We undertake to say
that, if Mr.. Lucas obtains q seat in
the Senate, such 4 law will be pass
ed. The people pay dearly for their
failure to vote lntelligently.

Lee Arthur, aged about IL years,
a grandson of Mr.. John Viands, met
with a serious accident last Friday.
He had been out hunting, and pass
ing the residence Of Mr.. ALI. Wat
son, near the Shenandoah river, stop
ped and leaned his gun against the
fence and entered into conversation
with Mr.. Watson. Whilst this was
going on the gun by some means
was discharged, and the load of shot
penetrated the throat of young
viands, just under his chin, tearing
the root of his tongue and making
very ugly wound, from which the
most serious effects are feared. DR..
VIM. Neill was summoned and gave
him necessary attention. Later
Young Arthur died yesterday morn
ing.-Spiyit.
While he was at the point of death
dispatch was received from Gar
rett, Indiana, stating that his
brother had been killed by the cars.
Two other brothers were killed in
the same manner as Arthur, being
shot while climbing fences. The
three accidental shootings occurred
within the past five years.
